Forced to grow up fast
Saddled with responsibility beyond me
Overdeveloped sence of duty
Working when my peers played with sand
Functioning as an adult at a tender age
My childhood taken away from me
Doing their job
Confusing role reversal
Little opportunity to be playful
Pleased them at all cost
While suppressing my own needs
Grown into a serious minded adult
Attracted to troubled partner
And trying to fix them
The Neurologist classifies the brain into left and the right part. The right part is a center for emotion while the left hemisphere is the center of thinking. Children with a highly developed left hemisphere take first position in class and represent the class in inter-school competition. Right thinkers top the class in bullying and noise making and represent the class in inter-house sport competition. What they lack in intellectual analysis, they make up in physical hardiness. They are usually in majority. Left thinkers make great class captain because they are academically ahead.
This classification expands to the larger society Right thinkers usually top in illiteracy, Polio infection and poverty. Their top values are :
Dress code for women. Blasphemy laws confiscating alcoholic drinks. Cattle Rearing. Underage marriage.
The left thinkers are concerned about making lives better. Their top values are:
Breaking up /restructuring. Improving the economy persistent ASUU strike. improving policing and security High cost of living.
Left thinkers are willing to push aside tradition and scriptures to advance a goal. Right thinkers would prefer to remain stagnant to deviating from scriptural and traditional belief. The right thinkers are looking at making under aged child legitimate voters. The bill may be passed into law eventually as right thinkers have more population among the legislature. The left thinkers would rather ban underage marriage. Unlike left thinkers, Religious belief play a major role in the decision-making of right thinkers . Right thinkers are unwilling to consider scientific study of the harm done on the girl child as a result of early pregnancy as long as her religion approves of such. They would rather stone the messenger and destroy his findings. Right thinkers shifts scripture when it does not align with reality.
The right thinkers contribute less to the regional revenue and are more in number. Their numerical advantage gives them an advantage during election. They tend to rule left thinkers. When right thinkers rule, left thinkers feel marginalized. When right thinkers rule, left thinkers feel marginalized. An external body might be needed to bridge the gap but the right thinkers rigidity makes it difficult. A doctor might be needed to divide the duo but the leftist would not want that either. We have a serious matter in our hands. We have to be careful, so It does not lead to uprising in the future.
Are you a leftist or a rightist
You know you do not like the current condition.
You know this society is not working. you are managing to exist. eating from hand to mouth. struggling to make a living.
you find a partner in similar or worse situation like you and for love or other selfish reason, choose to get married and bring a child into this world.
A child that would be forced to struggle like you.
To use him as cheap labor in your farm ?
As a secondary source of income e.g bride price,child hawking
As bragging right among your peers?
So you can flex your authority and power on him/her
Why? so that when you get old you will guilt trip them into taking care of you with words like
” after ,bringing you into this world
after all I have done for you.
you think because you brought him to this miserable world,he owes you his life.
what did you do for him? you starved him, no tertiary education, no comfortable bed.
AF if it is compulsory for one to own a child.
do we really care for the children? do we really want them to be a part of this cruel world?
Many orphans are praying for caregivers in orphanage homes but we do not give a damn.we want one that come from our body so we have a sence of ownership
you are not happy. your partner is not happy. the society is not happy. yet we bring fotth a child to share in the unhappiness.
are we not. cruel to children?
Infant living with just their dad found out that they are 2-6 month ahead of schedule in personal and social skills
Amount of time father spends with child is one of strongest predictor of empathy in adulthood
The more the father is involved,the more easily the child makes open ,receptive and trusting contact with new people in his life.
Children of divorced parent who lived with their mother are 37.5% more likely to need professional treatment for emotional and behavioral problem.
When fathers are not involved, girls show sign of being antisocial,headstrong, hyperactive.Both boys and girls showed sign of over dependency on the mother.
Boys who live with their father after divorce tend to be warmer,have a higher degree of self esteem,more mature and more independent than boys who do not.
The most important factor by far in preventing drug use is a close relationship with dad.
Living in homes without dad is correlated with suicide among children and teenager than any other for both sexes.
Girls raised in father absent times tend to go to extreme in their relationship with male.
Primary school children without father are less likely to be popular with peers and more hostile to adult.
Daughters who lived with their mother are 92% more likely to divorce than daughter or 2- parent family

Go to any school and ask the students to identify the subject they dislike most. Many of them will chorus “mathematics”. What makes student harbour a passionate hatred for this subject still remains a mystery for most educationist .
. Many reasons have been proposed . One which seems to be overlooked is the fact that students do not feel connected to the subject in anyway . Imagine spending hours finding ” x” when “x” is neither your brother or your sister only to search for “x the following day. It is not only routinal but boring. The student begins to wonder whether to use the same formula to find his biro. This is because the teacher failed to explain to him the application of these formulas in real life situation.
Many mathematics teachers were top in their classes when they were students. When they are not learning in class, they are studying in the library. They spend little time socialising and having fun . They grow up to become an expert in mathematics but deficient in relating same to the student . They begin a topic by introducing an abstract theory and leave the student wondering how this theory concerns his life.
They do not deserve to be blamed.They only repeated what was handed over to them by their teacher . Garbage in garbage out. They can choose to create a new tomorrow.
We can have outstanding mathematician but terrible teachers of mathematics. Great mathematics Teachers begin by stimulating the interest of the student. Students who are less than fourteen years of age are emotionally focused. They tend to feel more and rationalise less .
Simultaneous Equation. : Divide the children into groups of 4 .Ask tleaxh group to go to four different shops . Give each group #200 to buy pencil and biro .total amount of both items should be six. Compare each group answer. . Solve on the board. Which group got it right?
Speed : Take student outside Measure any point A about 100m apart. Get each student to walk fast or run from point A to B and get another student to record time against the student. After each student must have done dat,take them back to the class and calculate the speed of three students. The remaining students should calculate their own walking speed.
Volume of cylinder : Tell student to bring any empty milk ,or tomatoes container to class. Using ruler, they watch you measure the height and Diameter and repeat the same for their container. After that, you calculate the volume or area using formula method and watch them do the same .
Average : each student is given a company name and asked to go to the library and get the prices of shares for nine consecutive days.They are to find the moving average of five
Area The student measure the length and breadth of one class room tile . Student count the number of tile in the class and find the product.
One way we make mathematics boring is that we do not involve the student in getting the data. We spoon feed them the data . In real life,they have to know how to get the data themselves. Getting them to measure it themselves makes them engaged. One parent told me his child measures everything he can lay his hands on at home . After measurement, he would begin to calculate . Things got out of hand when the television fell off. These method make class lovely, children interesting and active participant in the learning process, .Soon children will begin to love the subject
